===Admixture in the Philippines===
[[History of the Philippines (1898–1946)|Historically]], admixture has been a common phenomenon in the Philippines. The Philippines were originally settled by [[Australoid]] peoples called [[Negritos]] which now form the country's aboriginal community. Admixture occurred between this earlier group and the mainstream [[Malayo-Polynesian]] population.<ref name=stanford>{{Cite journal | last1 = Thangaraj | first1 = K. | last2 = Singh | first2 = L. | last3 = Reddy | first3 = A.

There has been [[Indian Filipino|Indian migration]] to and influence in the Philippines since the precolonial era. About 25% of the words in the [[Tagalog language]] are [[Sanskrit]] terms and about 5% of the country's population possess Indian ancestry from antiquity.<ref name=precolonial>[https://web.archive.org/web/20091020001239/http://geocities.com/CollegePark/Pool/1644/precolonial.html Pre Colonial Period]. geocities.com</ref> There has been a [[Chinese people|Chinese]] presence in the [[Philippines]] since the 9th century. However, large-scale migrations of Chinese to the Philippines only started during the Spanish colonial era, when the world market was opened to the Philippines. It is estimated that among [[Filipino people|Filipinos]], 10%–20% have some Chinese ancestry and 1.5% are "full-blooded" Chinese.<ref name=ocac>[http://www.ocac.gov.tw/english/public/public.asp?selno=1163&no=1163&level=B :: Overseas Compatriot Affairs Commission, R.O.C. ::] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110104195124/http://www.ocac.gov.tw/english/public/public.asp?selno=1163&no=1163&level=B |date=4 January 2011 }}.

According to the American [[Anthropology|anthropologist]] Dr. H. Otley Beyer, the ancestry of [[Filipino people|Filipinos]] is 2% [[Arab]]. This dates back to when Arab traders intermarried with the local [[Malay race|Malay]] Filipino female populations during the [[History of the Philippines (Before 1521)|pre-Spanish history of the Philippines]].<ref name=Arab-Malays>{{cite web|title=Arab and native intermarriage in Austronesian Asia|work=ColorQ World|url=http://www.colorq.org/MeltingPot/article.aspx?d=Asia&x=ArabMalays|access-date=24 December 2008}}</ref> A recent genetic study by [[Stanford University]] indicates that at least 3.6% of the population are [[European ethnic groups|European]] or of part European descent from both [[Spanish Empire|Spanish]] and United States colonization.<ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Capelli | first1 = C. | last2 = Wilson | first2 = J.
